Windows 7 is a great os. There is no way of knowing that w8 will be as good.

Well, to be fair, I liked Vista, and had no issues, but the general thought was crap. Plus, If I had put good, then it would have screwed up the point I was making
I agree, Vista pre SP1 was like Win 7.![]()

In what way? You actualy think Vista after sp1 is better than Windows 7?

I read somewhere that Windows 8 was going to be a tablet/mobile OS. Anyone else hear this anywhere?
That's what every version of Windows after v1 has beenWindows 8 isn't a new OS from the ground up, it is based on 7 with UI tweaks and various new features so should be an improvement rather than a flop.

It really wasn't. It was based on the latest codebase at the time, which was Server 2003. A lot of new technologies were added, though.er, not really. Vista was basically a complete rebuild, it wasn't "evolved" from XP like XP was from 2000.
Windows 7 is mainly fluff. Underneath, it's not really any different to Vista. I won't disagree that it's made it a lot more pleasant though!Windows 7 is an evolution of Vista, but underwent considerable refinement to make it much much better than Vista, which i maintain was awful.

1. er, not really. Vista was basically a complete rebuild, it wasn't "evolved" from XP like XP was from 2000.
2. 2000 evolved from NT4. Windows 1 evolved up to Windows ME and was then dumped because it sucked the balls.

You try installing Windows 95/98/Me without DOS installed first! Those OS's still have plenty of the 16-bit code from Win 3.11 in. Other than NT, I don't think Windows has ever had a complete rewrite.Agree completely with 1. and 3. but with point 2 (yes I've numbered them) Windows 1 evolved up to Windows 3.11 32s and then got replaced with Windows 95, which was a complete rebuild. Before 95 Windows wasn't even an operating system! (Try installing earlier versions of Windows without DOS installed first!)
